The original film, which was released in Taiwan in 2007, was also written and directed by Jay himself. It premièred in South Korea in early 2008 and was re-released in the country again in 2015.
The Korean version of "Secret" will be directed by Seo Yoo-min ("April Snow"), and will begin production in the second half of the year.
It will be D.O.'s second film project since he was discharged from military service last year.
